\ To all 4whom itv may corr/cern,.-

Be it lrnown 'thatL FREDERrcK Fromm, Jr., of the c itycf Baltimore, inthe State of Maryland, have Ainvented a new and Improved Tobacco-Pipe;and I .do hereby declare -the following to be a full and correctdescription o f the same, reference being had to the accom!-panying'drawings, in which- Figure it' is a vertical section from frontto rearof the pipe-bowl ou the lineg/ y of Fig. 3.

-Fig. 2 is a tranew'ferse vertical section of the same on the line z z.of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a 44horizontal section through the lines as .cofFigs.

1 and 2. Fig. 4 isa side elevation of the pipe-bowl in apositioncorresponding to' that of the section Fig. l. Fig. isa front'elevationoi the same corresponding in ,position with the section Fig. 2.

The same. part is marked by thesame letter' of reference wherever itoccurs.

The nature of'myinvention eonsistsiu such an arrangement of thesmoke-passages of av tobacco-pipe that the saliva and nicotine, re-

spectively, will be received andjretained in `separate receptacles andprevented from min' 4gling together or being' drawn back into andthrough the pipestem, all substantially as' hereinafter moreparticularly described..

The great desideratum ofthe tobacco-smoker is toreceive' the smoke intothe mouth ,in a

'cool and dry state and free from nicotine or -saliva ora mixture of thetwo; In pipes of the ordinary form the saliva from the mouth 4descendsthe stem and mingles with the nico` tine, which. collects in the bottoniof the-bowl,

and when a sucient quantity of these-duide has accumulated tobe-a'iiected by the suction-` -they are drawn together through'fthe steminto' the mouth, producing a bitter,v acrid, and

' highly disagreeable taste,-and having a tendeney to excoriate thelmucon's membraneof the "mouth and lips. The object ofy iny'inventionvis to remove this difiiculty,

d To enable others to make use of Vmy invcnp tion, I will proceed/todescribe the construcf tion and. operation of my improved pip1e, re

,ferring to 4thefdrawings' Whiehare made 4part "of this specication, inwhich4 w f -A marks 'th bowl of the pipevv in which'lthe 'tobaceoisplaced. The bowl A is connected ber opens into-th'cpipestem through Iby passage with a larger upright passage, B. This passage B4 is open atits lower end,

where it basa projecting screw-thread, ontcwhich the nicotine-cup D isscrewed, as shown in Fig. 2. The upper end of tube B comme# nicates by ahorizontal passage, b, with the upright passage C, the lower. endv ofwhich communicates by passage e with the .smoke passage B. 'This passagewill necessarily re-y ceive the nicotine. which will fallto thejbot tomand be collected in the cup D, while the smoke passes up .thepassage B,through pas' sage t, into and `downpassage C, through passag c, over'thesalivacup E,into passage d, and .thence into `thepipe-stem' and-themouth of the smeken Any saliva" that may. descend the ipelstem willbereceived .and

retained in t e cup E, which is-screwed or',

in, other .convenient'manner- `attached to the ybottom of the pipe inthe positionshownin the drawings. The cups Dand'Ff can be 1111-.

screwed and emptied as' often as may be re-I quired. *l

it will be observed that the nicotine cannot pass into the salivacup, asitpislc'ompelledby gravity to fall intofthe cup D. The saliva-` cup'also being below; the lineiofdrait its contents will not be subjectedtosuetimn,-- and' hence will not be, drawninto the'pip'elstemai Thusthesmokc will'be received pure anddry' into the month. -i

y When the cups D and lilandl the cap e are removed, the pipe can bereadil'y'cleansed, owing tothe easy access afforded through the openends of the passages Band 0.
